“We are seeing steady growth in the number of satellite launches per year, but little progress has been made in increasing the lifespan of this space hardware,” Arie Halsband, Effective Space founder and CEO, said in a statement. “Our technology enables satellite owners to maximise the life...
Satellites have been rightly described as the lifeblood of the entire space industry and the number of satellites ordered or launched per year is an important defining metric of the industry's level of activity, such that trends and variability in this volume have significant strategic impact on ...

JAXA and MHI have set a goal of six launches per year. MHI’s space segment chief, Iwao Igarashi, told reporters that the strength of the Japanese rocket launch is its reliability and on-time record and that Monday’s success was “another big progress.” The company has so far signed ...
Our satellite deployment opportunities through the International Space Station are trusted globally. Since 2011, we have coordinated the launch and deployment of hundreds of cubesats and smallsats from the Space Station. Deploying from the Space Station offers highly reliable launches with flexible launch...
Galileo SATs 7-8 are scheduled to follow end of year 2014. Then the constellation will be gradually deployed with six to eight satellites launched per year using a series of Soyuz and Ariane launches from Kourou, along with remaining elements of the ground network. ...
The mission was SpaceX’s ninth launch of 2023 and ninth launch in five weeks. If SpaceX can sustain that pace, it would translate to an average of almost 94 Falcon launches per year – just shy of Elon Musk’s goal of 100 SpaceX launches in 2023. ...
To support this goal, the government has included funding in the budget proposal for fiscal 2025 to increase the H3's launch capacity from the current limit of six launches per year to at least seven. This will involve expanding facilities at the Tanegashima Space Center, such as increasing fu...
The contract awarded to Arianespace calls for launch of five Soyuz rockets from Kourou, French Guiana, each taking two FOC satellites on board. The first launch is scheduled to take place in October 2012 and will be followed by four to five launches per year. The contract also contains ...
